Can anyone identify this spider
There is a rather unusual spider living just outside my front door. I have never seen one like this in the UK. Can anyone identify this. The body is about 12mm across. It does not seem to make webs - although when I slam the door shut it sometimes drops on a thread of silk. I guess it is an active hunting spider - full complement of forward facing eyes...

No idea on spiders! On another matter - Dref Gerrig! I remember holidays there as a child with such fondness. Do you know how I could go about taking my boys there? Kind regards, Gareth Sellors

Hi David,
maybe an European Garden Spider or a similar species? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araneus
